Auntie Becky’s biggest fan 🥹❤️

My dad happened to buy the Gazette & Herald today and discovered that Rebsey Art Studio… and my enormous face 😂… had made it into the paper. I had absolutely no idea it was being published!

Then my sister-in-law went straight out to buy another copy and sent me this photo of my gorgeous niece, Amy, reading all about Auntie Becky 🥹

I call her Amy Flamey because she is fiery, bossy and absolutely destined to be unstoppable 💪🏻🔥 So it feels especially perfect to have her proudly holding a story about the Female Business Awards, and seeing what the women in her life can do.

Being named a finalist in both the New Business and Creative Business categories feels completely surreal. But honestly, this photo might be my favourite part of the whole thing.

Here’s to the next generation of unstoppable women ❤️

Apparently, being on summer holiday means my brain has decided it’s the perfect time to start thinking about Christmas 2026. 🎄😂

As this is becoming a bit of a tradition, I’m starting to plan this year’s Christmas collection.

Current challenge? Reindeer anatomy.

More specifically, trying to work out why I can paint an entire woodland scene but apparently can’t draw a reindeer’s head in proportion. 🤦🏻‍♀️

The reality behind every finished design is usually a page full of questionable sketches, lots of rubbing out and at least one moment where I wonder what possessed me to start.

But I think we’re getting there…

What designs would you like to see this year? Or is it too early?!

Controversial opinion from someone who paints nature for a living… I hate the beach. 😂

There. I said it.

I hate sand. I hate the feeling of it on my skin. I hate that it gets EVERYWHERE. Just thinking about sandy feet makes me shudder.

Give me a quiet woodland, towering trees and a forest floor any day. That’s where I find my peace.

But the boys? They LOVE it.

So yesterday I sat on the sand, got my paints out and watched Chip completely in his element.

The sea might not be my peaceful place, but I can recognise it in someone else.

I started playing with the colours and composition while he was in the water; nothing precious, just a little doodle in my sketchbook. And that’s where so many of my paintings begin. A few colours. A shape. A feeling I want to remember.

And these photos do hold lovely memories. But, because Instagram is Instagram, they’re also not the whole story. 😂 There were tired children, sandy everything, and Teddy rounded the afternoon off with an epic meltdown because his shoes were wet and sandy. Which, to be fair, I had some sympathy with. 🤦🏻‍♀️

So, important question: beach or woodland?
And choose carefully. 🌲😂🌊

Well… this is rather exciting 🥹🏆

I can finally share that I’m a finalist in the 2026 Female Business Awards… in not one, but TWO categories!

✨ Creative Business
✨ New Business

I’ve been sitting on this news for a little while and it feels VERY good to finally be able to say it out loud 😂

Being recognised for the business side of what I do feels particularly special. There’s an awful lot that happens behind the paintings and products; designing, making, markets, galleries, wholesale, emails, spreadsheets, packing boxes, taking risks and generally making things up as I go along 😂 … so to have that work recognised means a huge amount.

I genuinely didn’t expect to be a finalist in two categories. So I’m going to allow myself to be ridiculously pleased about this one 🥹

Rebsey Art Studio Ltd — TWO-TIME Female Business Awards finalist.
Bloody hell. 💚🏆🏆

Rebsey Art Studio is now officially Rebsey Art Studio Ltd. 🙌

It still feels a AMAZING writing those words.

What started with a paintbrush, a head full of ideas, and the hope that maybe one day someone else might connect with my work has slowly grown into something I never imagined.

To everyone who has bought an original, chosen a card or tea towel, commissioned a painting, visited me at a market, stocked my work, shared a post or simply encouraged me along the way… thank you. You’ve helped make my little art dream possible 🤍

Here’s to the next chapter. 🌿

✨ Something new…

A huge thank you to my lovely friend Sharon and Saffy adventures for placing the very first order for Let’s minGO! oven gloves. It honestly means so much when friends choose to support my little business. ❤️

And another massive thank you to Magic Textiles for bringing another of my designs to life so beautifully. The quality is exactly what I’d hoped for, and seeing my artwork become something people can use every day never gets old.

I’m thinking these might deserve a place on the website… 👀

Would you be interested in Rebsey Art Studio oven gloves? If so, which design would you choose first?

💚 A Home That Waits

I’d love to know before I add them.

Sunshine, sunflowers and some of our favourite people 🌻☀️

A very lovely morning picking sunflowers with the amazing Nichola Nolan and all our little ones, even if choosing which ones to bring home was taken extremely seriously… by Nichola 😂

There’s something about that pairing of golden yellow, deep green and huge blue skies that makes my creative brain very happy 💛

Little pockets of summer happiness 💛

This weekend, we had the privilege of seeing Miss Saigon Official at The Bristol Hippodrome Theatre, and it was everything I’d hoped it would be.

I’d Give My Life for You has been mine and Chip’s song the minute I heard it. I sang it to Chip while I was pregnant with him, through sleepless nights as a baby, and I even had the sheet music framed on his nursery wall.

Then came the line…

“Little snip of a little man.”

Except we both looked at each other because we were certain we heard…

“A little Chip of a little man.” 🥹

Whether it was a slip, whether we both misheard, or whether it was simply one of those magical theatre moments, I’ll never know.

But for one second, it felt like the song that has been part of our story for years suddenly knew our story too.

So thank you to the incredible cast, and especially for a performance that had me in tears more than once.

Some moments stay with you forever. ❤️

Singingsnapper16, Charlotte introduced me to and worked on this song with me, I can’t tag her though ❤️

Happy Birthday, Mum. ❤️

If you’ve followed Rebsey Art Studio for a while, you’ll probably recognise Mum. She’s the one helping at markets, celebrating every exhibition, and (not so) quietly cheering me on through it all ❤️

Today we’re celebrating her in Warminster Park, where both Mum and Dad grew up. It feels like the perfect place to make a few more family memories.

Happy Birthday, Mum. Hope your day is every bit as wonderful as you are. 🎂🤍
